“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” Wilder, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, said. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight. I came out slow. I rushed my punches. I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”
